Re: [ldapext] Password Policy OIDs
G'Day Jim,
I think that this is a good idea, however your email suggests that
changing the OID's will disambiguate the semantics by which a password
policy is being enforced. Do you plan to change the short name
descriptors of the attributes as well?

This does bring up another point I wanted to discuss though...
This draft was written way back when it was popular to assign OIDs in
I-D's. A practice that has lost favor partly due to implementations
using those OIDs and experiencing problems as semantics changed but OIDs
didn't.
I'd like to move this I-D forward, and I don't want to be tied to any
semantics defined in previous versions. I propose that we replace the
existing OIDs with requests for IANA OIDs. This way, existing
implementations won't appear to be invalid according to the current and
future revisions, and I won't have to worry so much about breaking
existing implementations.
What do other's think?
Jim
